  • After introducing the original Continental in 1939, the second-generation Continental Mark II was introduced at the 1956 Paris Auto Show. The car was perfectly proportioned with a long hood and short rear deck, evoking classic design while being unmistakably modern. The Continental Mark II is the perfect example of how grand an American car could be in 1956. In an effort to showcase how special the car was, it was offered with amenities nigh unheard of in regular vehicles along with a lofty price tag of $10,000. Only 2,550 examples produced in 1956, and, despite its cost, the company reportedly took a loss on every one, making it one of the most exclusive American cars of the era. As such, the Mark II was only produced through 1957 but continues to maintain a strong following of enthusiasts appreciative of its iconic mid-century design.

    The magnificent 1956 Continental Mark II featured here is finished in highly desirable Mist White over a gorgeous Cream and Red leather interior. This exquisite motorcar has been recently released from a respected private collection and is now ready for its next caretaker. We are proud to offer this incredible investment-grade Continental Mark II to the most sophisticated investor collector or enthusiasts who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this iconic American classic.

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
